Together we sat on a carpet
Where a three year old sat
And "quietly" listen to instruction
Standing on top of flimsy chairs
That can be too unstable and small
Even when we sit and leave us praying we don't fall
Reciting our lines perfectly when we first know them
And slowly for getting from here
With dances and songs getting better
Fooling around at least 10 minutes at a time
Sitting at a crowded table
Because we sit together or not at all
Drama occurs too often
But we all still stay close
And never lose sight of what matters
People have come and gone
We stay as long as we can
But we never want to leave
At one point we'll all leave
As I will do now
But no matter what we cannot forget
How we affected each other
The things we've been through
And the friendships we've made
I wish I could stay I really really do
But one day we will all move on from the too small chairs
And the dark green carpet that we call a "stage"
But we never forget the feeling on that stage
The feeling of flying and the feeling of joy
It's a bright loving feeling with that applause
On that stage we sing of Fame
Or ogres and beasts with girl problems
Or a lion who was once a king falling to his knees
My career here with Vouge has come to an end
But yours must be so far away
So take it embrace it
And make the world your stage
